The answer would be letter D. <em>The hideous and revolting conduct of the past and present</em>

Letter A makes no sense with the text.

C, although a somewhat possible conclusion, is not the message the author attempts to transmit.

B, although maybe the main argument to sustain the author's point, it's still not the main idea he aims to pass.

The author intent is to show what the Fourth of July looks like from the slaves' point-of-view. For that, he reminds people of the disparity between them (free white people) and slaves, of how the feelings of liberty and justice do not encompass all. And because of it, this day may be a celebration occasion to them, but to slaves, it's a 'mourning' occasion, with nothing to rejoice or be proud of. Finally, he concludes by stating "<em>Whether we turn to the declarations of the past, or to the professions of the present, the conduct of the nation seems equally hideous and revolting.</em>" - which is the answer to the question.

Do a compare and trast of a normal day going to class at school and going to class online Please focus your MOOD, be very clear

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

When I go to class at school, I am most often not excited to be at school, but more or less excited to see my friends. Being strictly in online classes, has mad me very anxious to arrive back at school and get back to my normal social life. I miss being able to talk to my friends and get help on my homework questions. When I do my online courses, I sit alone and the work is extremely tedious. I feel like I am only getting busy worked, which makes the school day feel ten times longer. I do, however, enjoy being able to stop and take breaks whenever I want. It makes me feel more relaxed knowing I am doing my homework at my own pace and am not being rushed. Most often at school, I am anxious over the amount of time I have left for an assigment, while at home I am calm and relaxed because I am on my own schedule. Overall, online classes make me feel at ease, but I feel dismal not being able to see my friends everyday.

Explanation:

- Hope this helps! Although, this is on how you compare online learing versus in-school learning. I would suggest modifying it to fit what you feel.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

"That afternoon I was sent out again to sell some goods to the soldiers. "

Explanation:

All but one are said in the first narrative, so you can rule the last one out. I believe this one is the answer, as it mentions the narrator being sent somewhere to sell to soldiers, which means that he is a merchant, or believed to be one.
